I Can See Health Bars in Real Life-Chapter 483 - 6: Elixir of Immortality and the Body of an Immortal

"I'm here, I'm here, where are the gemstones, gemstones, gemstones..."

Hearing this noisy voice, Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He turned his head for a glance and saw the water ripple at the valley entrance, as Ishtar strutted in with a haughty air, followed by a few bewildered and confused commoners.

Speak of the devil...

Sighing lightly, Gu Mo said, "Alright, alright, Lady Ishtar, please stop clamoring, bring the people over..."

"What do you mean clamoring... hey! Don't just stand there, come over quickly."

Ishtar urged happily, while those few people with dazed expressions glanced at each other, examining the picturesque valley with hesitance, but ultimately not daring to delay too long, slowly mustered the courage to proceed carefully.

Firstly, because they still believed in this Lady Goddess Ishtar...

Secondly, because Gu Mo, in his cyan Daoist robe, exuded an aura as refreshing and misty as mountain mist, giving them an instinctive sense of closeness and relaxation, making them feel he couldn't be some sort of evil demon.

Thus they slowly approached the front of the Box Garden, still somewhat trembling, instinctively bowing their heads, staring at their toes, while also listening intently to see what arrangements or resolutions would be made for them.

Though the impression was good...

The one who could chat and laugh with Lady Goddess couldn't possibly be an ordinary mortal, they were somewhat mindful of that.

In any case, he was the kind of big figure who could decide their fate, and facing such a figure, they were naturally a bit shrinking, after all, they were just a group of ordinary people who had narrowly escaped death not long ago, still somewhat disoriented.

"Step forward a bit, take a look here..."

A faint voice floated over, spoken by the young man in strange clothes.

Though unsure why, they instinctively turned and followed the direction indicated, gazing at the Box Garden ahead, barely discerning before the gentle voice sounded again, urging them closer to take a better look.

With a jolt in their hearts, they dared not delay, instinctively stepping forward a few paces.

Although the tone didn't change, people living in this era knew very well how dangerous it was to make influential figures repeat themselves, not to gamble with the patience of those who could control their fate; that was an instinct engraved in their very being...

Approaching the front of the Box Garden, they widened their eyes to take in the scenery inside. Upon clarifying the scene within, they paused, unable to tear their gaze away as certain imaginations bewitched them...

Soon after, perhaps merely a flicker of thought, they heard the whistling wind echoing in their ears, with clouds quickly parting before their eyes...

The terrifying sensation of weightless plummeting hit them extremely hard, causing their pupils to contract to the limit, and they let out piercing screams.

"Ahhhhhhh——!!"

......

"Hmm, no matter how many times I see it, it's still interesting... So this is your Treasure? Truly an interesting Immortal Technique."

With hands behind her back, Ishtar bent down, peering with great interest into the scenery of the Box Garden, observing the ant-sized residents busily going back and forth. Some worked in the fields, while others walked along paths, and the ones who had just fallen were surrounded by others, seemingly explaining something.

Even having seen it many times, Lady Goddess still found this scene very fascinating.

"You could think of it that way. Here, this is your payment..." Gu Mo said noncommittally, simultaneously reaching into his wide sleeve to pull out a handful of gemstones. The bright, sparkling little darlings shone faint beams of pure light between his fingers, yet the next moment, Lady Goddess snatched them away.

Her hand moved almost like an afterimage, appearing to pry open his fingers, and took all the gemstones in less than a second.

What a terrifying obsession...

Does this woman have no awareness or dignity that belongs to a Divine Spirit?

Gu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, but he'd seen this kind of situation too many times and was somewhat accustomed to it.

"Hehehe..."

Ishtar's eyes lit up, letting out a foolish giggle that was anything but goddess-like, cradling the beloved gemstones with both hands, nearly rubbing them against her face. The smile on her face fully showed her genuine affection for gemstones, and the satisfaction and contentment upon receiving such precious gems were indescribable.

Well, as expected of Lady Goddess with a habit of bringing shiny objects back to her nest...

Gu Mo blinked, contemplating this.

But because of this, he could easily win her over... After all, as a goddess particularly fond of gemstones yet incompatible with the Golden Ratio, it was a flaw. A goddess who loved gemstones but was never associated with them, until now reliant on humans or the Gods' offerings to her.

But now in this world on the brink of collapse—

The Gods had long since departed, and humanity was in dire straits. Who could continue to offer tributes to this Lady Goddess anymore?
